Morning. Yawn. Coffee : in the morning. I grind up Green Mountain French Roast or Starbucks Gold Coast. Cream, no sugar. Tea : when it's time for tea, of course. Regular and herbal are all fine by me, just don't give me peppermint tea.

Tea for me, please. I don't know what I'd do without my cuppa first thing in the morning. I'm kind of picky, though, so get my tea bags from an English store because I've not found a US brand that will do the trick.

Tea. I drink all kinds, but I'm partial to Earl Grey in the morning.

Exception: mocha blended frap...

Must... have... coffee!! I am an unrepentant addict. I have coffee delivered by Gevalia. My favorites are Kenyan, Mocca Java and Kona (except that's too expensive - might as well buy a ticket to Hawaii.)

If I sell my book, one of my celebratory indulgences will be a pound of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee at forty-something dollars a pound. Knowing me, I'll probably just buy half a pound... I'm so cheap.

Taylor's of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold Tea! It's probably the best tasting blend of tea my tongue ever had the pleasure of embracing. I have yet to be disappointed with that brand of tea.

Coffee. Yuban's just fine. Black. In a Mickey Mouse mug.

*blinks*

I didn't think anyone drank Yuban anymore.

Tell me, do you drink it so strong that it'll jump out of the pot, strut across the room, and slap you awake?

If the answer is yes, are you sure you're not related to any of the Kansas Crabtrees?

espresso with rock cocaine allowed to luxuriously dissolve into a creamy froth on top, and a freshly-squeezed human pineal gland for flavor.

Good Lord, Haskins - no wonder people keep saying, 'get out of my head!' You've been eating their brains!

Watch what you're doing up there, won't you please; we've already got Mad Cow. Can't have you responsible for some other dread disease now, can we?

Tea. Strong tea. Looks like black coffee coming out of the pot, though of course I add milk. I use loose tea from England: half Twinings Earl Grey, half PG Tips (we call it the Abbey Blend, after my friend's mother who invented it, as far as I know). I compared the Twinings packaged in the US to the Twinings from an English shop, and there is a huge difference. I suspect they send us the seconds :).

I used to be a strict tea fan, but now it's strong coffee, with vanilla toffee caramel creamer.

In the a.m. two large mugs of Gevalia coffee--right now its some limited edition type. After that it's diet coke or water. In the afternoon I drink Tetleys All Rounders tea, which I get my mother to send from Australia.
